I didn't know this existed. My thermostat is near my entertainment center and gets a false warmer reference than what the area is just 10 feet away. I was going to run new thermostat wire to a new location to fix this. Now, I don't have to do that.

For example, at night cool until the bedroom is 75°, or in the morning cool until the sunny front room is 76° and so on.
Would be exactly what you are need for the bedroom like you mention. Hope that helps!
And while this does show up in Google Home now, you still need the old Nest app to switch your thermostat to use one of these as the temperature point (and for setup I think). Odds are you'll be using the old Nest app anyway with the compatible thermostats.

The better solution is one of two:
1. Move thermostat to better location (not hard, if you aren't handy, a handyman will do it for you for under $100)
2. If you have an old unit, when you replace, pay the extra $600-1000 for variable speed blower and a multi zone duct set up. This is the right way to have multiple zones as the duct will close rooms that are the right temperature while cooling or heating the ones that aren't... Thus much more efficient
If you have just one room that's hot or cold too much, consider a jump duct to another room to split the temp. Personally not a fan of it, but it does work for holder homes or in situations where you don't want to do the "proper" upgrades.
At least with Nest system, you can get those range repeaters. Not with Ecobee.

A huge caveat for anyone who, like me, is especially interested in the scheduling capabilities based on different sensors in different rooms throughout the day: it's rudimentary at best. The day is split up into predefined chunks of time that are apparently based on a mythical world where no one works second or third shifts, always goes to bed at 9 PM, has exactly the same routine on the weekend/days off as during the work day, etc. It's truly an afterthought and very frustrating, considering how very flexible the regular scheduler is. I won't go on about it, but I'm sure a Google search will easily turn up similar discussions.
